Most people are puzzled. Why would anyone spend huge sums of money on pigeons, even racing pigeons? As you know, pigeon racing in Belgium is very famous, and pigeon racing has a long history in the local area. In the past, traffic and communication were inconvenient, and it took days, nights and even months to travel. Pigeons can send messages to people and act as postmen, and they are faster than people. Pigeons are also a symbol of peace and can also be kept for viewing. In short, they are beneficial and harmless. The history of pigeon racing in Belgium began hundreds of years ago. Although pigeons can fly, few pigeons can fly far and fast. Pigeons digest quickly, and it takes a lot of energy to flap their wings constantly during the flight, so pigeons can't go too far at a time. At this time, some people want to train racing pigeons that can fly farther and faster. Therefore, Belgians have had rich experience in pigeon breeding and pigeon training since then. At the same time, their pigeon racing quickly affected neighboring countries, causing a pigeon racing craze for a time.
Even now, pigeon racing activities are still going on, and there is a special global pigeon racing auction website, which holds a pigeon racing auction every year. Belgium's pigeon breeding experience has had a great influence on the pigeon breeding industry in the world so far. There is a female racing pigeon barking? New gold? The starting price was 200 euros, but the final successful auction price was 6.5438+0.6 million euros, about 6.5438+0.25 million yuan. The buyer who finally photographed this racing pigeon came from China, and another buyer who competed fiercely with him came from China, but the buyer was unwilling to disclose his personal identity. Activists would respect the buyer's wishes and would not disclose his identity according to regulations. The buyer may be a low-key person who doesn't want to bring too much trouble to himself, so we don't know who this mysterious buyer really is, and why he loves a racing pigeon so much and pays a high price.
